What's your method for keeping the opti dry? Fear of getting it wet is what keeps me from cleaning my engine. Yours looks super! :thumbs:

Looks really good. What precautions do you use to protect the opti from getting wet?

Re: [pics] Cleaned up the engine compartment (Scooter 94)
Well it was pretty clean to begin with, the engine, but what I do is use one of those little fittings for the end of the hose that is like an extension but with a thumb blck on it to shut off flow. I set a slow low pressure flow, just slightly more than dribbling. I make sure the opti has rags stuffed all over on tp, sides anywhere I can get them. I mist down a small area with Greased Lightning Orange Blast (better than Simple Green...), wipe it around or brush it lightly if needed, then let the weak stream of water gently rinse it. I tend to stay clear of the opti area, choosing to use a damp rag and/or brush in that vicinity if necessary and wipe dry with a drying cloth. I blot up any pools, and then take her for an extended operating temperature drive to throughly get rid of residual moisture. Works every time, but is kind of a slow method.
